EX
COMMONS BACKS PREMIER
Lloyd George Given Vote of Confidence
Genoa Conference.
London. The house of commons
Monday night, after an unexciting de
bate, adopted by the substantial ma
jority of 278 Premier Lloyd George's
resolution calling for confidence in the
government's policy on the coming
economlo coference at Genoa. The
vote was 372 to 94.
Prior to this the house by a vote
of 397 to 84 rejected an amendment
proposed by John Robert Clynes, la-
borite, which, while approving an in
ternational economic and financial
conference, declared that the govern
ment was not competent to represent
the country at such a conference and
did not have the confidence of the
i
country.
In the earlier part of the session
the house passed an hour and 20 min
utes of such tenseness as it had not
experienced for many months, when
the prime minister, fresh from his
retirement in the country, threw down
the gauntlet to his opponents and de
clared that a vote on the hitherto in
nocuous Genoa resolution was tanta
mount to a vote of confidence or lack
of confidence in the government.
If Mr. Lloyd George has tired of
office, as his son announced Saturday,
certainly he appeared in fighting
mood as he entered the house amidst
a storm of cheering. His rest had
plainly benefited him, as evidenced
by his bronzed face and quick step,
and as he strode to the ministerial
bench with a somewhat defiant atti
tude, his whole bearing was that of
a man entering upon a great fight
with every determination to win and
with confidence in his own powers.
The houBe was crowded, interest
being accentuated by conflicting re
ports on whether the premier would
demand a vote of confidence in con
nection with the Genoa resolution, or
whether In view of the delicate po
litical situation he would sidestep the
issue.
Great crowds of people vainly bom
barded the commons officials for
passes admitting them to the proceed
ings and the galleries were filled with
the more fortunate.' Among the dis
tinguished persons present was the
American ambassador, Mr. Harvey,
who frequently smiled broadly at the
premier's quaint or biting humor.
Mr. Lloyd George's speech obviously
was not an attempt at oratory such as
he Is capable of, but was rather an
exhibition of what the critics in the
gallery called masterly handling of
his audience. He coaxed, cajoled,
joked and defied them in turn, but
each phase of the speech fitted In with
the preceding like a carpenter's joint.
Ku Klux Eject Negro.
Roseburg, Or. Great excitement
was caused here about midnight Sun
day night, when the Ku Klux Klan
started a search for Sam Jackson,
negro bootblack, who was alleged to
have Insulted several women, while in
an intoxicated condition. The klans
men had attended a lecture and mo
tion picture given by the order and
following the programme It was re
ported to them that the negro had
stopped women on the street and
made Insulting remarks to them.
Squads were quickly formed and a
careful search of the city was made,
but the negro managed to get Into
hiding and remained there. When
located after daybreak he was given
2 hours to leave the city and he im
mediately began to comply with the
order.
Editor and Solon Clash.
Juckson, Miss. A fisticuff occurred
on the floor of the lower house Mon
day between Jeff Collins, representa
tive, and Frederick Sullens, editor of
the Dally News. The difficulty was
said to have been provoked by an
editorial In the Dally News which re
ferred to an alleged attempt of Mr.
Collins to present adoption of a com
mittee report that investigated the
charges brought by Governor Russell
against the first insurance companies.
Bulgaria Fulfills Obligation.
Sofia. Bulgaria has' fulfilled her
obligation under the peace treaty to
deliver a large number of cattle and
materials to Jugo-Slavia, Roumania
and Greece. The mixed commissions,
composed of representatives of the
countries Interested, have parted on
most cordial and friendly terms in
consequence of the satisfactory ful
fillment of this condition.
Newspaper Cut Price.
Springfield, Mass. The Springfield
Republican announced Sunday night
that beginning on Monday the price
would be reduced from 3 cents to 1
cent a copy. The Springfield Union
announced that the price of Its even
ing edition would be reduced from 2
cents to 1 cent, with its morning edi
tion remaining at 2 cents.
E;
100,000 Non-Union Workers In
cluded in Figures.
REPORTS YET VAGUE
Officials Do Not Expect Exact Show
ing for Whole Country to Be
Known for Some Time.
Indianapolis. Complete suspension
of coal mining by union workers mark
ed the beginning Saturday of the nation-wide
walkout ordered by the
United Mine Workers of America.
Union leaders estimated 600,000 min
ers, including 100,000 nonunion men,
had enlisted in the movement and pre
dicted no change could be expected
soon.
The exact effectiveness of the sus
pension, especially in the non-union
and partly organized fields, was dif
ficult to gauge, however, because Sat
urday also marked the anniversary of
the eight-hour work day m the coal
industry with an annual holiday in
the coal fields.
The reports from field leaders show
ed the great bulk of the suspension
centered In Pennsylvania, West .Vir
ginia,' Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Iowa, Kansas and nearby southwestern
states.
Reports from other fields were some
what vague and union officials did
not expect an exact showing for the
entire country would be available be
fore the middle of next week.
President Lewis estimated that 6000
of the 7500 mines in the country that
have been operating recently had
closed and in addition it was pointed
out that 2500 mines have been idle
for some time.
In various fields particularly in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia the
field leaders of the union were plan
ning meetings during the next few
days, their purpose being to gain as
much support as possible from the
nonunion workers. In strongly union
ized fields, which were hit the hardest
by the suspension, the union leaders
regarded any break in their battle
front as impossible.
Mines in western Canada were re
ported as closed, but those in Nova
Scotia were in operation. Five thou
sand union miners in Kentucky also
were scheduled under the union's pro
gramme to remain at work, Mr. Lewis
declaring that this was in harmony
with a contract with the operators,
which has another year to run. In
addition, 13,000 union men were to
remain in the mines to protect the
properties from damage, but reports
to union headquarters here Indicated
that disputes had developed in Iowa,
Montana and Washington as to the
wages to be paid these maintenance
men.
The union leaders in these states
were , Insisting that the wages pro
vided in the contracts expiring Friday
midnight be continued, while opera
tors were said to be seeking reduc
tions.
. Twin' Spine Joined.
Chicago. The "Siamese twins," Jo
sefa and Rosa Blazek, who died last
week, were joined at the spine and
severing them would have been fatal,
according to X-ray photographs taken
after their death.
The pictures, it was declared, show
ed a continuous U-shaped spine and
also several vital organs in common,
The death was due to intestinal ob
struction, according to George W.
Brady, radiographer.
Sunday Movies Favored.
Tacoma, Wash. Sunday movies and
baseball are planks in the platform of
the so-called church ticket of Sumner,
In the Puyallup valley, adopted unani
mously at a political caucus following
the nomination of Dr. C. E. Judd for
mayor; L. D. Ryan and Clyde Tuel
for councilmen, and O. T. Fryar for
treasurer. Street dancing under prop
er supervision was also favored, as
was personal freedom within the lim
its of the law.
Setter Rescue Child,
Goshen, N. Y. Marlow, a setter
owned by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sims,
rescued their 4-year-old son Charles,
who was missing two hours. The fam
ily and neighbors hunted the fields in
vain. The dog conducted a search
alone and trailed the child to a marsh,
where he was stuck In the mud. The
boy told hi mother that Marlow took
hold of his waist with his teeth and
pulled him from the slough.

She went extremely pale and put out
her hand to grasp something for sup
port as if she were going to fall. She
saw him rise up slowly, an expression
of amazement and relief going across
his face. She smiled, but what a weary
little smile it was and how full of
pleading, as if she were silently beg
ging him to forgive her for some deed
she'd done.
John Pendlehaven gazed at the two
young people, and then he too got to
his feet.
"Philip," he said abruptly, "this is
Tonnlbel Devon. She's Paul's com
panion. We have "
Philip Interrupted the speaker by
his sudden bound around the table.
"Tony Devon, little Tony," he cried.
"I thought, oh, I thought you were
dead. . I thought I'd lost you forever."
A noise fell from Katherine's Hps,
and Mrs. Curtis stumbled to her feet.
"So you know her too, Philip," she
snarled with a hasty glance at her
pallid daughter. "I thought we'd kept
her well out of your way. So you've
played the sneak while eating bread and
butter In my house, miss," she blurted
at Tony. "Well, It's what one might
have expected of you you huzzy."
"Mother I" gasped Katherlne, as Ton
nlbel snatched her hands from Philip.
"Kathle, you needn't 'mother' mel"
cried Mrs. Curtis, blind with rage.
"Either she goes away or I do. I won't
stay In the house with a common
sneak a common "
"Sarah, sit down," thundered John
Pendlehaven. "Don't speak another
such word or "
Tony wns at the doctor's side be
fore he could finish his threat.
"I didn't sneak," she said, looking up
at him. "Oh, please please believe
me."
"That she didn't," cried Philip, com
ing to her side. "Cousin John, I've
known Tony Devon ages, and I didn't
even know she was in this house." He
turned his flashing eyes upon Mrs. Cur
tis, who was weeping hysterically.
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself,
Cousin Sarah," he went on, "to use
such language to a perfectly nice little
girl. Why, you've Just about broken
her heart."
His voice had sunk to a passionate
whisper. Ills eyes misted In a youthful
struggle to control his Joy, and and
at the sight of him, Katherlne lost her
wits entirely.
"Who and what have we been har
boring In this house. Cousin John?"
she shrieked In a high thin voice, strug
gling to her feet "A gutter rat, a lit
tle snuke, a loose girl"
" Each word, brought out with greater
vehemence and passion than the one
before, struck the listeners dumb. In
shame-faced misery. Tonnlbel sank to
the floor, dropping her head Into her
bands.
"Oh, no, I'm not that," she walled.
"My mummy never lived in the gutter;
she never did. I was poor, awful
poor "
"Poor I" exclaimed Katherlne. "You're
worse than poor. I suppose you've
wheedled Philip the same way you
have Copsln Paul."
"Katherlne, I command you to be
silent," shouted Pendlehaven. "If you
say another word, I shall ask yon to
leave my house."
"Well, I never I" screamed Mrs. Cur
tis. "And you too, Sarah," thrust in the

doctor. "We don't know the truth of
this thing, but I know very well that
Tony Devon Is not a bad girl."
"That she Is not," Interjected Philip.
"Now I'll tell you all about it"
As John Pendlehaven raised her to
her feet, Tonnlbel lifted her head and
fixed her tearful eyes on Captain Mac
Cauley. .
"You promised you'd never tell any
body," she murmured. Her mind was
with the dead Edith Devon, and the
words of her own serious reverent
oath given in the presence of her wild
eyed mother would not allow her to
consent that Philip should lift the
stigma heaped upon her by the Curtis
women.
"So I did," admitted Philip, soberly,
"but you see now this has happened.
You must release me from that prom
ise." "I can't," sighed Tony. Then turn
ed her face to Pendlehaven.
"You'll trust us," she pleaded, wav
ing her hand toward Philip. "Please
trust him and me."
"Ha I" shrieked Mrs. Curtis. "Trust
you"
"Shut- up, Cousin Sarah," snapped
Philip at the angry woman. Then he
addressed himself to the doctor. "I
did promise her I wouldn't tell how
we met. And I won't 1 In fact It isn't
any one's business. Is it, Cousin
John?" . ' v
"Not that I can see," came In rather
drawling answer.
"I'll repeat what I said before,"
Philip took up hastily. "I didn't know
she lived here."
"We're ready to believe that ntt,"
cried Katherlne.
Captain MacCauley stared at her.
Was this frowning angry girl the smil
ing, yielding Katherlne he had known
or thought he had known?
"You can believe it or not, Kathle,"
he told her savagely. "It makes no

difference to me. But It's true, Just
the same."
"Walt here for me, Philip," said the
doctor, In a low tone. "I'll be back
in a moment
Then he took Tony by the hand and
they went out together.
For several tense moments a silence
too dreadful to describe settled down
upon the dining room. Katherlne
twisted her fork sulkily and Mrs. Cur
tis still sniffed In her handkerchief.
Philip looked from one to the other,
wishing with all his heart he could
say something that would clear the
atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, Cousin Sarah," he said
abruptly, trying to smile. "It certainly
was awkward, wasn't it?"
"Awkward?" repeated Mrs. Curtis,
wrinkling her face. " "Awkward Isn't
the word, Philip. It was disgusting."
The gorge rose again In his throat.
"Tonnlbel Devon Is the best girl I
know," he asserted. "Poor little thing,
I pity her with all my heart"
"Pity is akin to love, my dear Phil
ip," sneered Mrs. Curtis.
"Mother," cried Katherlne. "Philip
wouldn't so far forget himself and his
friends and position as to love well
if you can't keep your tongue still, go
upstairs."
This was a shock for Philip. That
any girl could speak to her own mother
in such a way was beyond his com
prehension. The door opened Just then
and Dr. John walked in.
"She came down to tell me that
Paul wanted me and forgot It" be said
In a low tone. "The poor child Is quite
overcome."
Mrs. Curtis tossed her head and
rose from the table, and Katherlne,
rising also, followed her mother out
of the room.
There was very little said between
the young man and his older friend
after the ladies bad taken their de
parture, but when Captain MacCauley
was ready to leave, he looked anxiously
at hi companion.
"Cousin John," he murmured. .Ton
won't let any one"
"Indeed not," Interrupted the doc
tor, anticipating the lad's plea. "Tony
Devon is here to stay, Phil."
"Could I could I see her, Cousin
John, Just a minuter the boy faltered.
"Not tonight, old fellow," replied the
doctor, kindly. "Tomorrow, perhaps."
And Philip had to be content.
That evening Katherlne spent with
her mother In hopeless misery.
"He acted Just as If he loved her,"
she wailed at one time in their conver
sation. "I'd give anything to find out
how long he's known her."
"So would I," said Mrs. Curtis.
"Katherlne, we've got to get her away
by some means. She's bewitched John
she's brought Paul up from his grave
and there's no telling, she may usurp
your place fn their wills."
"And now she's hoodwinked Philip,"
gulped Katherlne. "Can't you think
of some plan? Can't we claim she
steals or something like that?" . .
"John wouldn't believe it especially
now that Reggie Is coming home," was
the answer. "His letter today said
he'd be here very soon. Everything
that happens In this house out of the
ordinary Is blamed on my poor boy."
And she began again to cry.
"Great Heavens, mother, don't do
that," screamed Katherlne. "Can't you
see weeping doesn't do any good?
You make me so nervous I could fly.
We've got to make some plan to get '
her out of here. While you're snivel
ing all the time, you' can't think."
Mrs. Curtis rose and walked to her
bedroom door.
"My children have no sympathy for
me at all," she shot back. "But you
say I can't think while I cry? Well,
watch mel I'll bet you five dollars
Tony Devon Is out of this house before
another week Is over."
-
The next morning when Reggie
Brown came home, he went directly
to his mother.- Of course, as usual,
she wept at the sight of him and be
gan to upbraid him for his thought
lessness. Why hadn't he let her know
where he was? Why had he been gone
so long?
Reggie laughed Insolently.
"Do I ever let you know where I
go, mater?" he demanded, dropping
into an easy chair. "No, I don't and
I won't 1 I've come for five hundred
dollars I have to have. Now cough
it up."
"I haven't that much money In the
world," gobbed Mrs. Curtis.
"Then wheedle It out of Cousin
John," he commanded. "I've simply
got to have It!"
Paying no heed to his gruff com
mand, Mrs. Curtis rocked to and fro
In excess of agony.
"If Paul had died," she wept, "we'd
have had a lot of money"
"How do you know?" was Reggie's
quick query.
"Because I know how his will's
made," explained his mother, "and
unless his Caroline is found, your
Cousin John and I get all his money."
Reginald's eyes blazed Into a flame
of Interest. Money was the only thing
that attracted him.
"Why doesn't he die, then?" he ask
ed, dropping back sullenly. "He's old
enough and sick enough, isn't he?"
"Because he's getting well," replied
his mother. "That girl"
"What girl?" Reggie's voice asked
the question In monotone.
"Some huzzy John picked up not
long ago," was the reply. "She's
brought Panl to life, and John Is wild
about her, and now "
"Where Is she?" interjected Reginald.
"With your Cousin Paul. And, Reg
gie, I'd give five hundred to get her
out of the house."
The boy rose and stood gazing down
at the tips of his highly polished
boots.
"I'd give more than that," he replied
solemnly, "to know Cousin Paul was
in his grave."
"Tnen rid us of the girl, and he'll
soon keel over," said the mother.
But Reginald wasn't Interested in
Cousin Paul's new companion. He
wanted money and that was all, now
that Tony Devon was dead.
"How about the five hundred for
me?" he questioned, looking at her
keenly.
"I've said I hadn't It, my son," said
she. "Now run away and don't bother
me any more."
Reggie did leave the room, but not
the house. His mind was filled with
many plans to get hold of the cash
he needed. There were two things had
to be done. Whoever the girl with
Cousin Paul was, she had to go. It
was enough that his mother didn't
want her In the house. Reggie could
abuse his own women folks; he could
make them cry all he wanted to, but
that any one, and a stranger too, could
force his mother Into a spell of hys
terics, he wouldn't tolerate.
Then the other thing to which he
had made up his mind almost brought
his hair on end when he contemplated
It The world had to be relieved of
Cousin Paul.
A little drop of something Reggie
rose to his feet and walked nervously
up and down the room. Twould be
easy enough to get hold of, for Dr.
John always had plenty of drugs on
hand.
"I'd like to kill her."
